Review by Victoria Angelique:

The feature film, THE LAST RECKONING, is an intense story that uses expert storytelling to take the audience on thrilling mystery from beginning to end. The film begins with a girl taking a snake ring off an unknown murdered man, she is dirty and the first question is if this man’s victim or if there is something more at play. The film unwinds to reveal that there is always more to the story.

This film answers the question if criminals have a moral code, when they have to question their entire world after an innocent person is arrested for the murder they committed. The story takes cues from classic Hollywood films, interweaving the plot into a modern depiction of a film noir. Many films today seem to have clear cut good guys and bad guys, but THE LAST RECKONING will have the audience questioning the motives and reasonings of the murderers where their humanity will be seen over the crime and framing of an innocent person.

The intense plot is only enhanced by the limited locations depicted through the film. The majority of the story is in one house, with only a handful of scenes depicted outside this location. This helps add to the psychological drama that drives the story because each person is forced to deal with the consequences and if it is worth it.

The film wraps up nicely with the final revenge, again going back to the way films used to be written. The moral code is questioned, but it still proves that no one can truly get away with murder because someone always knows who is guilty and who is innocent. THE LAST RECKONING is a must watch for anyone that loves the feel of classic films and is looking for a film that will make everyone think about the thin gray lining between good and bad.
